“I’ll be a king even if they never crown me,” raps Slim Dollars on the hook. With that mentality in mind, he and Eli Saf dive into their work, relinquishing all concerns about contingencies and obstacles. Even if they’re never acknowledged for their efforts, their own satisfaction is their only goal. This is an uncommon mentality in hip-hop, but Eli Saf and Slim Dollars see the bigger picture. Aloe Blacc actually expressed a similar sentiment when we interviewed him last year and he spoke of “grand schemes.” Listen below.
Eli Saf himself produced the subdued track. And while it may “knock,” that seems to be precisely the point. Equally as subdued as the producer himself, the instrumental doesn’t show off. Each element fits right in, enabling the atmosphere of the song without any unnecessary clouds. No puzzle piece is more important: it’s all about the bigger picture.
